Psilocybe hispanica * 5
    #2102193 -

Outdoor cultivated Psilocybe hispanica. This species is relatively easy to grow on sterilized horse manure placed outside during cool fall weather (around 60F). A relatively newly described species from Spain. In Spain it grows directly on sheep dung in fields that also support fruitings of Psilocybe semilanceata








Very small specimens growing from a displaced piece of colonized horse dung. Rodents or birds dug into the patch and scattered small pieces of dung that later fruited. It is interesting to note the reduced size of the mushrooms when growing from very small amounts of substrate.



This is a larger specimen from the main patch. Still a relatively small mushroom. The odor is very similar to Psilocybe semilanceata and the appearance reminds me of Psilocybe mexicana

Could P. hispanica be conspecific with P. semilanceata?

The ITS sequences are just one base pair different, and it's just that one A turned into two A's near the beginning of the sequence, which is likely not even a real difference.

Perhaps they found P. semilanceata on horse dung and thought it was something new because of the unusual substrate.  But horse dung is really just chewed up grass, so it's not that much of a leap - and P. semilanceata is found in the area.

The LSU sequences of the two species are identical.

I am having trouble finding the original species description, which was published in "Docums Mycol. 29(no. 116): 42 (2000)".  Docums Mycol. is short for Les Documents Mycologiques.

I need to revisit this species. It is similar to P. semilanceata but it is much more responsive to cultivation, for whatever that is worth.

Perhaps a variety that has evolved to be more tolerant of different substrates.  Whether it should be called a separate species is hard to say, I wonder what they would look like cultivated side by side.....and if there are any microscopic differences.  I wonder if the difference in ITS sequences between P. hispanica and P. semilanceata would continue to be seen if more collections were sequenced.

      I never saw Psilocybe semilanceata fruiting directly from cow patties or horse droppings.

      The Psilocybe hispanica strain I am working with does not look like Psilocybe semilanceata.

      It is easy to grow compared to Psilocybe semilanceata, a casing layer is not necessary. It is a cold weather species like Psilocybe semilanceata,
      fruiting between 40 and 60 F and the potency is definitely equal to Psilocybe semilanceata.

      But is the species I am working with really Psilocybe hispanica?

      And was the material used for DNA sequencing really Psilocybe hispanica?  Where did the material come from?  This is all very confusing.

I saw pictures of a whole cluster P.Semilanceata fruiting directly from some animal poo.
It was a thread about it in a swedish forum back in 2012.
And it was Psilocybe semilanceata, im 100% sure of it having picked thousands of them.
We thought it was odd it fruiting directly on the poo like that.

In fact i have always thought P.Semilanceata has some connection to dung.
Where they grow in suburb areas over here they tend to grow grass lawns who has been newly laid out or grass lawn sown previous year.
Then they grow on these for a few years with declining numbers.
Just if they use up the nutrients or fertilizers in the soil.
And they always use animal poo of some sort as a fertilizer.
So P.Semilanceata is probably a dung lover, at least partially.

I agree with you that Psilocybe semilanceata is a nitrophilous species.

But I've never found them fruiting directly from dung here in Central Europe.

I always find them growing on former and now abandoned pastures, which have turned into ordinary grassland.

I suspect that another active species from Northern Spain could be involved in this confusion.

Intresting.

It wouldn´t suprice me if P.semilanceata has a few different sub varietys and that P.semilanceata and similar psilocybes are just same base mushroom that evolved to do well in their growing habitat.
How much must a mushroom change/evolve to be considered a new one?

      Good question!  But I'm a cultivator, not a taxonomist. You should ask Alan Rockefeller or Workman this question.

      I think an interesting experiment would be to grow mycelium of Psilocybe semilanceata and Psilocybe hispanica on the same agar plate.

      If they are the same species, no barrage formation should occur. Barrage formation means, that no nuclear exchange takes place, although hyphal fusions occur.

So if for example a mycel of say Psilocybe Cubensis variation Maztapec were grown on the same agarplate as Psilocybe Cubensis variation Golden teacher, the two would not form a barrier when they meet and mix smoothly as both are Psilocybe Cubensis?
They have probably grown separatley for many years and had time to adapt/evolve a bit of ther own.
But this should not matter then and no barrier form, that is intresting as it can be used as a tool to differentiate 2 mushrooms, just as you say.

Too bad my myco refridgerator has broken down, maybe i try this when i get a new one.
I think i have some spores of both P.semilanceata and P.hispanica.

But mushrooms evolve, change, adapt with time and environment.
So at some point they must have changed so much a new mushroom is developed.
Or it has at least changed enough to make a barrier on the agarplate.
Is´t that how every mushroom has allways been created?

There is a central authority on nomenclature, but no central authority on taxonomy.  Therefore it is up to each individual person to answer that question for themselves, as there is no set number of changes that triggers it being new species.

I like to follow Dr. Bas's species concept, which is that there should be three unrelated differences.  They could be macromorphological, microscopic, chemical or molecular (DNA).

The biological species concept is a good way to answer this question in animals, but does not really work in plants or fungi since they hybridize often.

I believe that Psilocybe hispanica is a synonym of P. semilanceata or P. fimetaria.    The fruits in this thread look like P. fimetaria.

Someone should do some DNA work on these!

It hasn't arrived yet unless it was in the little stack of mail that I brought to the lab the other day. 

Spores are generally studied when hydrated - yours look a bit collapsed, which is what they are like when they are dry.

I suggest rehydrating them with a half drop of 5% KOH, then putting down a coverslip, lifting it up slightly and putting it back down until air bubbles are gone.  Optionally paint a ring of nail polish around the edge of the coverslip.    Observe using the 100x oil immersion objective, with a drop of immersion oil on top of the coverslip.  If you don't have immersion oil you can use vegetable oil or even isopropanol in a pinch.

If you don't have KOH you can use 70% isopropanol, then let it half dry by blowing on it for 20 seconds or so, then add a half drop of water and put down the coverslip.

If you have a condenser under the stage, open and close it until the image looks best.  It generally should be more closed with the lower power objectives and more open at the higher magnifications.

I agree Alan, the ones in this thread do look similar to P.fimetaria. I'll attach some examples of hispanica-looking-fimetaria below.

If P.hispanica is actually P.fimetaria, it would mean we would be able to add sheep manure to the list of substrate from which P.fimetaria grows. Also, I have a suspicion that P.fimetaria might grow from Red Deer manure - at least in Scotland/UK.

I saw in another comment, from a few years ago, you said you had an ITS and LSU sequence of P.hispanica. Have you tried comparing the ITS to one of P.fimetaria?

Yes maybe they are conspecific with fimetaria (I don’t think with semilanceata) I hope Alan will receive the prints and could give the final answer with genome sequencing.. personally really love how they look! hispanica or even if it’s same with fimetaria.. do you or someone have a fimetaria prints? so I can work also on it to try to do a comparative grow. And does anyone know a bit more about hispanica/fimetaria usual potency?




Perhaps they are conspecific with P.fimetaria. You are right - they are definitely different to P.semilanceata. However, they are undoubtedly closely related.

I do have some P.fimetaria prints.

Potency for P.fimetaria (and perhaps, by extension, P.hispanica) is an unresolved topic. From what I have observed and been told, the potency varies considerably for P.fimetaria. Most often it is considerably less potent than, say, P.semilanceata. However, some people report effects on par with P.semilanceata gram-for-gram. The issue ties in with the (lack of) blue bruising found on most P.fimetaria specimens. I believe it might be something to do with differing substrate. I think cow manure produces weak specimens whereas horse manure can produce more moderate ones. However, the existence of P.liniformans confuses things considerably. It looks practically identical to P.fimetaria and the only differing macroscopic feature is the presence of a separable gelatinous gill edge. So, I believe some of the people who have reported strong trips off P.fimetaria *might* have been actually consuming P.liniformans. More work is needed!

At this stage anything is possible. This is grain spawned to potting mix by the way,
no manure in there at least it didn't say anything about it on the bag.

Still hoping that these are semilanceata since none of the cultivated specimens
really look like what you can find in the wild.

Ok, so I got the sequence results back and the mushrooms I grew are semilanceata from what I can see.

A few examples from the first Semilanceata Grow 2020:




and some fruits from second grow 2022 started with spores from above. Samples for sequencing were taken from this grow:

 


Because I banned myself for a few weeks I couldn’t get in touch with Alan but instead I watched his videos on youtube about how to work the
data and this is what I got out from alingning the sequence with BLAST and creating a phylogenetic tree with Geneious Prime.

Alan, I can send you the .ab1 file if you want to have a look at that.

Yes definitely semilanceata.  I replied to your PM.

It would be cool to put these photos on Mushroom Observer, upload the sequence data to Genbank and link the Genbank record to the Mushroom Observer record so there's a permanent record of this, it'd be good to be able to refer to it when looking at possible semilanceata photos.

A good way to share .ab1 files is to put it on a public Google drive link.

It is very likely that P.hispanica is really P.fimetaria. I am in contact with the finder of the holotype and will hopefully get a few sequences of 'P.hispanica; in a month or two. The pictures that Alan refers to above were taken by this same person.

However, I think it is not impossible that it may be a distinct taxon. I have the ITS and TEF1 sequences from the P.hispanica holotype; the TEF1 doesn't really match to anything and the ITS is too incomplete to get anything very useful from it. The holotype was collected in the 1990s, so a fresh 'P.hispanica' from the original collector should confirm whether or not the species is a synonym. P.fimetaria certainly grows throughout the Pyrenees, but perhaps there is another species hiding there? I will update later in the year once we (hopefully) know!

Hey guys!

I grew the suppossedly hispanica from the spores i got from the user Poison Drink, who got them from Captain future (and i think he got them from Workman?). I assumed the ID was done correctly by the original collector even though I have slight doubts as unlike the original description the stipe doesn’t bruise blue and the fruits also show some veil (the key in Noordeloos monography about Strophariaceae s.l says it lacks veil).




I also managed to find an article from 2006 in a spanish magazine where someone talks about this species being found apparently in Euskadi (a región near Pyrinees but not as high), but seeing the description, the spore pics and the macroscopical details (like the cap resembling more like P. semilanceata) i got a bit confused, cause it doesn’t look like the supossedly P. hispanica from most grows posted on Shroomery. But on the other hand it is pretty common that indoor or cultivated mushrooms end looking really different from wild ones, so…

The following pics and description are from the specimens that were sent by the author of the article to Guzman for confirmation and also the same ones from which the genbank sequence KC669289.1 came from (Fernandez-Sasia's voucher). The suppossedly hispanica imo shows more resemblance to P. semilanceata. Afaik P. semilanceata doesn't fruit from dung, but it is not rare that some fruits can be found fruiting through dung cause the mycelium being underneath the poo. Could that have lead to the false asumption that it was a different species (cause the collector thought it was not semilanceata cause of dung)?



If you search this hispanica sequence in genbank (KC669289.1), after running blast you see a 100% match with P. semilanceata sequences, so probably this article was written upon a misidentification made by the author of the article and later also (mistakenly?)ratified by Guzmán.

It also gets my attention the spore micrographs which show a highly truncated germ pore that i think i couldn’t see on the spores from my grow, but perhaps it is caused by the low quality of my microscope which causes some aberration?

All that said, i had samples from my grow sequenced and results in genbank apparently matched it with one of the P. fimetaria  sequence uploaded to genbank. So perhaps the "hispanica" i grew is just P. fimetaria and either there was a misidentification and the true hispanica keeps lost and waiting to be found again or it is just that both are synonyms? But which species could be synonyms? P. hispanica and P. fimetaria or P. hispanica and P. semilanceata?
:badtrip:

P. liniformans is easily distinguished by the gelatinous lamella edge, at least on fresh specimens, idk if dried samples when rehydrated show that elasticity (i have found P. liniformans in NW spain and in north portugal too and in same dung some fruits have elastic lamella edge and other bigger fruits from the same dung not having that separable edge when fresh). I wonder if that elasticity is lost when fruits mature or what, but it should be possible to check under microscope the gelatinous layer with cresyl blue i guess. I should check the samples i keep in my fungarium cause in one dung sample i found fruits that resembled to me more of fimetaria (showing convex cap with acute umbo and what seems like veil with spores) and others more like liniformans (i could send some samples to you Alan if you want to check them or sequence). The ones that were consistent with the liniformans description were sequenced and matched with the liniformans sequence that Alan found on Netherlands few years ago.


Guzmán said that P. hispanica is different from fimetaria cause hispanica lacks veil and has larger cheilocystidia, and different from semilanceata cause of the acute umbonate pileus... but seeing the grows from P. semilanceata that shows that unusual morphology on the cap, it seems like morphology can be a bit wobbly sometimes when it comes to name new species, as it can show some variation due to causes that can be overlooked (i.e. environmental conditions). It happened with Amanita porrinensis which was described as new species in 1980 and found in two subsequent years and never again... only once time more in italy apparently. After sequencing the samples, it was said to be a form of Amanita phalloides.

Nice work. I've got some P. fimetaria from the Netherlands growing side by side with the hispanica outdoors and they do look different, for whatever that is worth. Hispanica on the left, fimetaria on the right. Hispanica fruited first so it seems to do better in warmer weather and is more robust. But the fimetaria was growing on a less than ideal substrate, so I need to start again to get better data. If they are both fimetaria, the hispanica seems to be the better variety for cultivation.

Inocybe, great write up, thank you for sharing that!

The genbank sequence KC669289.1 is, as it does appear, P.semilanceata. I have discussed this with Fernandez-Sasia. P.semilanceata fruiting underneath dung can produce some strange and confusing results, particularly in giving the illusion of it actually growing from dung in the same way that any obligately coprophilous fungus would.

Guzman's description of P.hispanica is faulty. I am in contact with the finder of the original holotype and hopefully something useful will be sequenced this year relating to it. P.hispanica's taxonomic position is certainly confusing, and we can't rush to synonymise it with P.fimetaria or P.liniformans prematurely.

Also, the species all display some level of polymorphism when cultivated artificially, which is interesting!

My 2023 "hispanica" spore printed a decidely black or dark, over brown

So when Captain future was sending out spore prints named ps hispanica

to my experience faint brown or black, pitch in here

where did he get his classification from to call it hispanica, instead of fimetaria? at the point he did?

is the swedish artsdatabanken.se reporting ps hispanica or ps fimetaria? when it says there are 6 observations there? (gov)

what does the literature or the experts so gathered say about the following:

1: was ps hispanica a cold fruiter
2: was there ever a fimetaria _before_ hispanica, or was fimetaria identified at the same time or later than hispanica
3: what is the history of the spore colour of fimetaria and hispanica
  and is any concentration of these even wildly possible to be mistaken for semilanceta
4: if early accounts of fimetaria and hispanica had dissimiliar, nonconcucrrent, truly absolutely differentiable from each other spore colours, where is this accounted and what are the proposed spore colours of fimetaria, and hispanica?

I wouldn't focus too much on varying spore colours of closely related Psilocybes. The differences,if there are any, will likely be minute and in the subjective range. Remember a highly concentrated/dense spore deposit may appear darker than a spore deposit consisting of less spores.

These from the plastic container and glass jar have no bruising




These from the basket all have bruising

No log and it was just a different culture from a different plate but same original print. Going to be trying to determine if it was genetic or environmental, but I would assume there were would be more bruising on wild specimens if it was environmental. I think it's genetics personally but I'll keep you all posted

If you think its genetics i will buy you a set of miraculix test. Or get one yourself!

Shoot me a link to something legit I'd like to have that resource!

I say I think it's genetic because they are all in similar substrates outside in similar conditions and these are so obviously different. Also I imagine their natural environment is the same if not better than what I have going right now.

I'm cloning the basket culture to see if I can replicate it in different settings. I'm hoping to get to the bottom of the environment vs genetics question

The Miraculix tests are available at https://www.miraculix-lab.de/en; Note that there is a link to another site to order them in the US.  They are accurate to within about 10%, which is less accurate than HPLC but mushrooms differ from one mushroom to the next more than 10% so the accuracy is fine.

Best place to send them for DNA barcoding to confirm the species is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nSKlouFy1Z3OXbCf2cWiKH0hkDnFKZvPn6_oCr3vEK0/edit

It's free, though he does accept donations.

Thanks Alan! I'm going to order some of those tests. I'd also love to send in samples for sequencing but I had always wondered if there was any legal risk with something like that? Is there anything to worry about when sending psilocybe through the mail, or is it safe because it's headed to a lab?

There is legal risk but not much.  Mail cops only care about large amounts.  If you are sending ten pounds you should worry, but no one cares about a couple of grams.

From the outdoor "Hispanica"

For another round

A few fresh data points, in case something here helps with this mystery.

Last summer I got a hispanica print from (unnamed sponsor), which was in foil but otherwise looked essentially identical to covertjoy's print. Black spores, tiny. I remember noting at the time that it indirectly came from FSE, though now I don't see why I thought that -- it may have said something on the part of the print's outer foil that is currently folded over in the bag? (I could check that later.) So, these are possibly the same genetics ultimately from CaptainFuture, but not sure.

It's been fruiting on BRF/verm PF-tek cakes in a water tub and in vitro (pp5 quarts), though they didn't start pinning until this winter, when the room cooled from 68-70 F / 20-21 C to around 57-60 F / 14-15 C. They didn't need a casing, dung, or anything else special besides a cooler environment, as far as I can tell. (I did top most of them with a little coir, but others fruited just as well without.) Everything below was inoculated with LCs I made from a couple different agar selections, after several rounds of transfers to clean up the original germination.

I've made a couple prints so far, and hope to have more in the next couple weeks. In person the lighter prints have looked like faintly applied prints of black spores, rather than purple or brown, but next time I'll take better close-up pictures than these:

Two heavier prints.


A lighter print (somewhat poorly lit picture).


Several fruits on an in vitro cake, seemingly mature though not yet dropping spores.

I did a miraculix test, the first one I've seen for hispanica. It's the vial on the left (right is ochraceocentrata), probably around 1.0 - 1.1%? That thread has more pictures and a second opinion from Bigworm, who has far more experience reading those tests. I have not tried them yet, but hope to have time in the next month or two. Edit: I haven't noticed any of these bluing/bruising during harvest, aside from the bit of bruising on the cake above, which got banged around a little getting it out of the plastic quart jar.

A few more pictures, including some close-ups on the gill details underneath.


Several in a PF-tek jar, just pulled out of my water tub.


Same jar, different angle.


Gills on a cap from the other water tub jar, which looks like it may be ready to print very soon.


Same cap, from above.


Several in a pp5 quart.


Gills and veil remnants underneath one of those.

Edited to note general lack of bluing.

I just put your spores on agar. They're growing next to my p semilanceata agar :smile:


--------------------
I eat a few.  should be real tender.  Its tasty.  No starchiness or crunchiness.
